Each month leading up to MITS, we are featuring an impact story, of how MITS has helped improve the lives of individuals with disabilities that we are proud to support. For June, we highlighted TSE, Inc.

This is Pat. He works at the Minneapolis Convention Center Minneapolis. 2026 was his second time attending Made in the Shade, and he really enjoyed it. He said his favorite parts were the beautiful weather and the mini horses, they were a big highlight for him. He also really liked the food. But more than anything, Pat loves just being around his friends, seeing everyone and catching up is really special for him. He’s hoping to be there again this year and can’t wait to check out the new shirt design.

Each month leading up to MITS, we are featuring an impact story, of how MITS has helped improve the lives of individuals with disabilities that we are proud to support. This month, we are highlighting Partnership Resources, Inc.

At Partnership Resources, we believe that a truly inclusive community is one where everyone belongs. Because of community support, we’re able to build strong partnerships across the community and walk alongside individuals with disabilities as they make person-centered choices about their lives.

That means more opportunities to be seen, heard, and included—whether it’s volunteering, creating art, contributing skills, finding meaningful work, or building lasting relationships.
Inclusion isn’t just a value—it’s something we create together.

Join us in building that community! Be part of Team PRI at the 35th Annual Made in the Shade Walk, Run & Roll on Saturday, September 19. For 2026, all Made in the Shade contributions will provide community access opportunities for individuals with disabilities. This includes opportunities for recreation and wellness, arts and culture, volunteering and working in the community.

Whether you walk, run, roll, or donate, your participation helps make inclusion possible.

Sign up, invite a friend, and help create a community where everyone is recognized for their talents and the value they bring.

Each month leading up to MITS, we are featuring an impact story, of how MITS has helped improve the lives of individuals with disabilities that we are proud to support. This month, we are highlighting Wingspan Life Resources!

Meet Peter! Peter has been a Wingspan client since 2008 and lives at Fairview House, one of our 36 group homes throughout the Twin Cities. Peter’s baritone voice is admired in Wingspan’s Glee Club. He has been a member since the club began in 2013, and his entire family including his sister, brother-in-law, nieces and nephews all turn out to cheer him on during concerts. Some family members even join him on stage! Peter has always loved singing. He grew up watching the Lawrence Welk show and dancing on his grandfather’s feet. Peter also got to sing with the Bill Graham Crusade Choir and has always been a big Elvis fan.

Peter’s loving family are his strongest supporters: they don’t just show up for Glee Club- they also love to join in the fun at Made in the Shade! Pictured here is Peter (center); his nephew, Michael; and Michael's wife, Jennifer. Michael furthers Wingspan’s mission to empower people impacted by disabilities, including his uncle Peter, as a member of Wingspan’s Board of Directors. We’re excited to celebrate our favorite annual get-together with Peter, his family and many others at Lake Bde Maka Ska again this year!
